 Roman Candle
I really like the pie at this joint. No wait staff at lunch is kinda weird though.

 Esquire Club
Kind of an old people's club, but the food ain't bad. Typical fair. Steaks, Ribs, Pasta, Burgers, American-What-Have-You. Minus points for using Papyrus on the menu.

 Taco Palace
The fried chicken tacos are pretty unstoppable. $2 happy-hour blended margaritas. There is a salsa-bar, which is kinda sweet. I hear the fish tacos are great. I'm not a fish-liker so I can't vouche though.

 Bunky's Cafe
Bunky's is similar to the Dardonell's on Monroe St. It's a little less classy with a bit more soul.

 Saigon Noodle LLC
Residing on the east side of Madison, Saigon Noodles has been a refuge for Vietnamese-Americans and others who love Vietnamese cuisine, to come and rejoice. Saigon noodles is known for its pretty good pho, as well as great drinks, noodle dishes, rice dishes, and friendly service. A great place to come kick it w/ some peeps. Pho dac biet is the da bomb.

 Laredo's
Super good Mexican food super fast. Don't expect a slow leisurely meal. Giant high-octane margaritas. Fantastic guac. The rice is actually my favorite.

 Kabul Afghanistan Restaurant
The flatbread bring you is fantastic. They also sell it in take-home bags. I think it's $2 a bag and it's like a 2-foot piece of bread.

 Weary Traveler Incorporated
Fantastic place on Willy street, right across from Jolly Bob's. Always excellent service and excellent food - or just go for drinks and live music. My favorites are the Carne Asade, The Tofu Soup (forgot the name of it), and of course the Bad Breath Burger. The Mediterranean plate is an excellent appetizer or meal.

 La Hacienda Restaurant
The rumor is this place is so popular after bar time because they will still serve you liquor. I've never been there after bar time, but during regular hours it's your average mexican food. Good parking though.

 Ian's Pizza & Salad
They have that macaroni & cheese pizza. Gross.

 Saz
I might be going crazy, but I think they either changed their name to "Zas" or there is also a restaurant on State Street called "Zas" which is highly confusing.

 Flat Top Grill
It's like one of those "Mongolian Barbecue" joints where you choose all your raw meats, vegetables, and sauces and they grill it up for you on a giant circular grill. Only Flat Top Grill is a little higher quality than those sketchy buffets. They hold your hand through the process if you are a first-timer, which is a bit annoying. My first attempt was quite delicious -- I did a pretty standard rice/pork/vegetables/ginger sauce combo. With flatbread! (Get the flatbread it rocks) I'll be going back soon.

 State Street Brats
Fairly awful atmosphere, especially at night, but the brats are good and it's kind of a Madison tradition.

 Cranberry Creek Cafe
The really nice sign outside leads you to believe the food is going to be better than it actually is. Not that it's that bad, it's just pretty standard fare. Lots of chicken. I think their niche is "cheap entree dinners". They have like 10 dinners under $9 or something.
